Do you consider yourself to be "well-adjusted"?

Most people consider me to be well-adjusted. I actually consider myself to be pretty well-adjusted, especially given some of the obstacles I had to overcome.
But in my fantasy life, I can be a bit like Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbes. I would never actually use a flamethrower on a texting driver. Nor do I want cows and chickens to stage a mass rebellion, and start devouring humans. But I've thought of such things.

I like to think so but many find me maladjusted. I love Calvin And Hobbes - cruelly but brilliantly parodied here

@arthurchappell I'm going to have to use more Calvin and Hobbes funnies to inspire posts. I've really been enjoying (even prolonging) my morning Constitutional.

To keep it simple, no. 
Calvin and Hobbes are cool though.

@TheHorse You know what they say. If you cannot laugh at yourself you will end up like Trump. Psycho I can't help it, please forgive me.

@crossbones27 No argument here. Though he did play himself on Saturday Night Live.

Yes I do and so far I have coped with most of the major hurdles in my life and come out pretty unscathed. Doesn't mean it will always be like that. Maybe I haven't faced my biggest challenge yet.
My sister and I believe that everyone is weird in their own way. I bet we all have one thing that we do that a lot of people would find strange. I know what mine is but I'm not saying

@sprite1950 Well, I do carry corn and green bean seeds around with me, and plant them in random places. But MyLotters already know that.

I consider myself well adjusted, although there are some who beg to differ. I have a sense of humour that occasionally gets me in hot water....I see humour in things others don't find remotely funny.

@Morleyhunt My brother and I say that about our dad, who was a professor at Cal Berkeley during the "free speech movement." Now, free speech is met with riots there.

@TheHorse my mom passed away several years ago....when we do something she wouldn't have approved of....we say....mom is getting her exercise.....spinning in her grave.
That one is reasonably tame.

I haven't been well-adjusted ever since the Ontario Health Insurance Plan stopped paying for chiropractic care...

Well of course I do, I survived the 50s and 60s, got weird in the 70s then got real work in the 80s which lasted through 2010 and now I'm a very well adjusted senior. 
I'm even in my 3rd .... or is it 4th .... teenhood or is it young adult hood, I refuse to do childhood over cuz it weren't fun at all.

Hahaha. Nice question. On the outside I can appear decently well adjusted thanks to a lot of medication!
Inside, not so much. I struggle with depression and mania, I hallucinate, I have anxiety attacks. All sorts of fun things. So no, I don’t really consider myself well adjusted.

Calvin and Hobbes is probably my most favorite comic of all time! I relate so well to Calvin and his thoughts and antics. Yes, I consider myself well-adjusted, but trust me...many of those thoughts that ran through Calvin's head also run through my head! lol

I would consider myself to be pretty well adjusted but there are times at work that I would like to use flamethrowers on customers.
Oops. I didn't say that out loud did I?

@JohnRoberts all my customers love me. In fact I may have gotten a painting side job from one of them. They just bought a late 1800s house that needs work. They asked if I was interested.
